a decent place

My wife and I lived here for a year, after moving out from downtown Chicago. We wanted a safer place w/ more space and ammenities (sp?) than we'd had in the city. This place served our needs. A couple things to point out though... 1) The "ponds" on the property are a nice touch, but when the water becomes so engulfed w/ waste from ducks/geese that there appears to be a moving amoeba-like form across the entire surface that it produces a foul stench, then maybe mgmt might want to look into getting it cleaned a bit. 2) The "mutt stations" for folks to pick up after their dogs are nice as well. They don't work so well though if there are no bags to pick up the waste though. 3) The garbage dumpster/trash compactor. There's only one for the entire complex, and it's not really in the central part of the community. Also, should you want to go throw out garbage on a Friday through Monday, be prepared for the entire thing to be overflowing w/ garbage, trash, furniture, recyclables, etc. Oh yeah, when going to the dumpster, keep your eyes out for wild animals that are drawn to this all-you-can-eat buffet...skunks, raccoons, coyotes, foxes, etc. 4) The workout room is way too small for a community of this size. Not all of the equipment works and there are a great deal of missing pieces of equipment from the room as well. 5) Be careful when driving...children run amok through the complex and will stand in the street for no apparent reason. Also, your car will probably have a couple dings/marks on it from the little b*stards that skate board in the parking lots. Really though, this was a nice place to live and had we not relocated to another state, would still be there.
